Dr. Jerry Rodriguez and his entire facility have been amazing in every way. From the moment we arrive to the time we leave, the staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Jerry is so knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. My son plays competitive soccer, and I've always had back issues. Jerry is always available to answer questions and address any concerns we have promptly. What really makes Jerry and his office stand out is how accommodating and caring they are. Whenever we need a sooner appointment, they always find a way to fit us in, even on short notice. That level of dedication means so much to us. We consistently leave every appointment feeling better, more relaxed, and taken care of. I've been to many chiropractor offices, but the adjustments and treatments here genuinely make a difference every time. We highly, highly recommend Jerry and his office to anyone looking for exceptional care. read more

Smith Chiropractic group took the time to ask me thorough questions about my accident/ injury and level of pain. The treatment was helpful, I fell asleep during the aqua therapy treatment and my level of discomfort in my back improved. Thank you Smith Chiropractic team. read more

It's been about a year and a half since the adjustment that Dr. de la Cruz gave me. I still have numbness in my feet and back of my leg. Thankfully, I can still walk. I'm unable to run. But that is probably because of my herniated disc. I still think that what he did was very irresponsible. He should've stopped when he realized I had problems with my lower back. I would not recommend using him if you're older. I think it's very telling that he has not replied to my post either. No one at the office has. read more

Great services i highly recommend going had should pains for months and one force visit from my wife i'm 99% better. I have scheduled another appointment without being force lol. read more

Dr. Cressey has been taking care of us for years! I wouldn't have it any other way. The first chiropractor I've been to is the last. We always leave his office feeling 10x better than before our visit. He truly has healing hands. His office staff and family also top notch amazing! Thank you Smith Chiropractic Group for your professionalism kindness and friendship. read more

The Smith Chiropractic Group is incredible in every way. The customer service is outstanding, both over the phone and in person. Dr. Rodriguez is absolutely incredible. I'd been struggling with a bad back for two weeks and Dr. Rodriguez made me feel great in just about 20 minutes. He explained things really well and made me very comfortable with everything he did. 12 out of 1-10. read more

Jerry is the best Chiropractic Doctor I've ever got it just from not only that He spends time with you to make sure that he adjusts you to get you feeling better. Also oh massages and check your bones to see where they're out of alignment when doing the adjustment the best I tell you the best. read more

I hands down recommend this place, it will be one of the best decisions of your life. Being the apprehensive patient I am I just want to let everyone know Dr. Cressey is the best!! His quality and patient care are top notch and the staff here are all wonderful!! I'm picky in who I choose to go to but I have been so lucky to have such a caring chiropractor and all the staff are friendly and attentive. I couldn't move anything after my car accident and they helped me recover so well!! True story I have experienced going to two different chiropractors in my life and both have scared me from never wanting to go back.... Also the state of the art machine they have for your back and care they give can't be beat!! Best in Pasadena!! read more

Off the bat Dr Kevin Cressey is one of the most approachable empathetic and efficient Drs I've met. My adjustment was amazing structured and smooth. He was able to pinpoint my aches and stiffness promptly and alleviate them in minutes. I consider myself to be a bit of a shy timid person and walked in with a bad mood, in pain and a few months pregnant. His approach was very professional informative and again empathetic hence making the visit comfortable (a sigh of relief so to say). He asks permission before doing anything new/different. Also helps to know he's worked with plenty of pregnant women. Another positive... not once did Dr. Cressey or anyone in the office push any future appointments and left it completely up to me. Aside from all that I had almost forgotten how it feels without neck and back stiffness as the immediate relief was almost unbelievable. I will definitely be recommending Smith chirogroup and Dr Cressey to anyone in need. read more

Everyone at Smiths is great. Dr. C is amazing. Not only does he get your PT and body adjustments as needed, he also provides good convo. Him and his team are so great to be around. The location is very convenient and they are open late and on weekends too. read more

Dr. Smith retired during the Pandemic at the end of 2020, but the office retains the same legendary service and care that keeps me coming back for regular treatment without a second thought. Enter Dr. De La Cruz, who has similarly magic hands, and a sharp Dad joke to boot! A young dad and a very very fast runner, Doc DLC has extensive experience coaching elite level college runners and cross country athletes, and he has brought his expertise to this office and to the Pasadena Pacers. While I was initially wary about switching chiropractors after Dr. Smith's retirement, Doc DLC quickly made me feel like I'm in great hands. He always knows exactly what I need, and I always leave with that "hurts so good" feeling after my treatments. If you are a runner, fast or slow, newbie or veteran, please see Dr. De La Cruz for all of your running injury-related needs! He'll get you back on the road in no time! Shoutout too to Dr. Rodriguez, who fills in for me when Doc DLC isn't available, and the always amazing therapists and support staff. Always patient, kind, and caring for all of their patients. Thank you! read more

Dr. Kevin Cressey is a veritable bone-smith! Fabulous, innate talent. Like he's known my body and what it needs my whole life. I've never found a chiro-doc so gifted. The office accepts medicare~ which is a bonus! read more

Smith Chiropractic Group - Chulaluxsiriboon Family getting adjusted by Dr. Andres De La Cruz - Chiropractors Near Me - Pasadena, California

Earlier this year (2021) in May I was hospitalized through the emergency room a few hours after a chiropractic adjustment performed by Andres De La Cruz at Smith Chiropractic. A few hours after the adjustment I had severe debilitating pain in my neck and shoulders. An MRI and CT scan detected a serious injury to a major artery in my neck- the diagnosis was a "cervical vertebral dissection, with pseudoaneurysm." In short- one of the major arteries in my neck was torn and blood entered the artery wall and caused a bulge in the artery that caused severe pain and risk of stroke. My neurologist in the hospital told me I was lucky I came in when I did so they could immobilize my neck and immediately monitor me for a stroke. I have a perfect record of health, am in my early 30's, exercise regularly and eat a mostly organic balanced diet. This injury was unquestionably the result of a neck adjustment. I lost 1 month of work because of this injury and have tried to contact my chiropractor but they have ignored me. I am writing this review because I dont want anyone to go through what I went through. I could have had a stroke and lost brain function or even worse. read more

I was introduced to Smith Chiropractic when I put my back out. Dr Smith is amazing. Now I continue with Jerry Rodriguez, also amazing!! The office and staff are clean, friendly and knowledgeable!! Fantastic chiropractic group!!! read more

Such a great knowledgable team, always has been and continues to be the best for sports related Chiro. Dr Jerry Rodriguez worked on my swimmers shoulder and I have never experienced such quick, pain free recovery in my 50 years of competitive swimming. read more

I went to see Dr. Rodriguez with a recurrent problem with my lower lumbar spine - I'm an equestrian and this is the most frequent and annoying issue I have. He was able to work me in the same day and while I walked into his office carefully not bending into my sacrum area, by the time he was finished with me I was able to walk out comfortably. It was like a miracle - in the past it had taken several days to resolve. I was even able to ride two days later! I highly recommend going to see him - he is thorough, knowledgeable & effective; the office is immaculate and professional, and the staff all very friendly. read more

I want to give Dr. Jonathan Carlos a huge thank you. I was experiencing lower back pain issues for years so I was recommended by Dr. Stratton thru social media. Since, I was a new patient and this was my first chiropractic experience it was amazing Dr. Carlos did his consultation and exam. I highly recommend Dr. Johnathan Carlos at Smith Chiropractic Clinic in Pasadena. read more

Dr.Smith is probably one of the nicest doctors I've seen in my life. I have also seen Dr.Kuo when Dr Smith wasn't available and he was just as great and kind. I have been attending for two years, and had nothing but positive experiences from the doctors and staff. However, last visit I saw Dr Cressy as he was the only person working on saturdays. He was so disrespectful, racist, derogatory, and so rude towards me that I experienced a panic attack. He told me "your a mess" and "all I care about is getting my full amount of money I deserve" I sent an email to dr smith telling him of my concerns. I never got any response back or any discussion about how dr Cressy spoke towards me. Before I could speak to dr Smith, Dr Cressy calls me and says "I'm discharging you from the office so you can never come back here again". I would recommend any doctor here besides dr Chressy. He is extremely narcissistic and does not care about your health. Stay away from him!! read more

Amazing customer service, front desk, ancillary services. Very conscientious engaged and extremely knowledgeable and experienced provider, Dr Smith and his team are amazingly Coordinated, sophisticated and engaged. You will walk out of that office in much better shape! read more

Last Monday, I listened to my body and visited Dr. Steve Smith, Pacer Co- Founder and Chiropractor‍. - A few weeks prior to the Athens Marathon (mid-October), I sprained my left ankle on two consecutive weeks. - A month later, there was still some lingering stiffness in my left ankle. It would sting on and off when I ran downhill. #nobueno Thoughts racing through my mind... Do I have a stress fracture? Am I further injuring my ankle by running ‍~18 miles per weekend plus mid-weeks? I acknowledged that I am not superhuman, and not the best person to diagnose my ankle stiffness. Pacers Dr. Steve Smith, visit his office and you'll understand why. The office staffers - Marco, Franko and Glenda were particularly awesome and caring. - Smith Chiropractic Clinic - 626-792-1221 - 131 N El Molino Ave #180, Pasadena, CA 91101 - https://www.stevesmithdc.com Steve was gentle and firm during the examination: - He began our visit by asking a series of questions to better understand the issue (e.g. when do you feel the pain/stiffness, what level of pain, etc.). Franko, his assistant, took copious notes during our discussion. - Next, Steve started digging into my left ankle to try and pinpoint the reason for the pain... it was tender around the ankle. The bottom of my foot didn't have any irregular calluses or tension. It ended up being an inflamed fibularis brevis - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroneus_brevis. It is the tendon that stabilizes your ankle and body, and it is a typical sore point after an ankle sprain. Phew... I could still run. - To better understand my running mechanics, he tested my leg support and reflexes. A series of targeted presses and pulls that would alert him to any muscular weakness and/or lack of joint mobility. During this portion of the examine, he also noticed that my left lumbar needed an adjustment, and handled it only after asking and receiving my consent. #classy - After applying some pain relieving gel on my ankle, he sent me over to his assistant for some ultrasonic and electro-simulation therapy. Staff: Awesome Time: - I arrived 15 mins early to complete an intake form via iPad. - Dr. Smith saw me at our scheduled time of 4:05pm. - I completed the entire session by ~5pm Parking: Ample, lit and complimentary... be sure to grab a coin from the front desk to open the parking exit gate. Cost: Varies - Covered by some medical plans, check with your provider - Covered by all HSAs and FSAs #Yiamas - To Health in Greek read more

See all

I love Doc Smith. He genuinely cares about you, your health, and your overall wellness. He is so full of knowledge and experience, it is easy to trust him to correct any issues going on. I've now been here numerous times thanks to my love of exercise, and physiology that doesn't seem support it. Currently, I'm being treated by him for an injury I didn't think would affect me as much as it is. He not only assesses my state every time I see him, but then adjusts me quickly and comfortably, then sends me over for therapy. Doc Smith's knowledge and experience are easily recognizable once you get to talk with him. He himself is an endurance runner (and actually started the Pasadena Pacers free running group years ago with his wife, office manager, and complete sweetheart, Robin) and can understand the physical toll and emotional attachment runners have with our sport. You will not only walk out of there with a healthier body, but a happier heart from interacting with him and his awesome team. Generally speaking, people aren't excited about needing treatment for physical ailments throughout life, but I have to say, I get excited and look forward to coming to get treated by Doc Smith and his team! read more

I had to take, what I consider to be, a "mandatory hiatus" from Dr. Smith because of my crummy insurance...who although I appreciate for stretching themselves and considering alternative medicine as perhaps, treatment they should cover-- I also disparage for not taking a bigger leap of faith (thus, limiting coverage of said treatment). So, being the ever vigilant one, I deemed at some point that I only had TWO more visits that my insurance would cover until next year! BOO!! I decided to use those last two strategically. I had tried out a new massage place (I'm still trying to figure out how to articulate that review!). It was CHEAP. It also illustrated the classic: "you get what you pay for " cliche if you catch my drift. From that evening and consistently into the next day, I had the most irritating muscle spasms in my back! The spasms actually kept me up all night! I was miserable. Feeble and sleep deprived, I call Dr. Smith's office. His lovely wife, Robin says, to my surprise, "can you come in right now?" YES! Thank you baby Jesus! Dr. Smith listened to my cheap massage woes and proceeded to tell me a couple of his famously engaging stories while adjusting me. Before I left, he gave me another number where I could reach him (since the weekend was about to begin) and just in case I experienced anything worse during non-business hours. Just from that ONE visit, the spasms slowed from a Mach 10 to about a 2. And from there, they dissipated completely within 24 hours. Have back trouble? Do not pass Go, do not collect $200; go to Smith Chiropractic asap. read more

Dr. Smith is the best Chiropractor in Pasadena. His office is so caring and respectful of all clients. I was in a car accident in 2008 and couldn't move my neck. After my first visit I was able to move and after a couple months of treatment I was back to normal. I still visit every 6 months to make sure my I'm keeping my back and neck in alignment. Highly Recommend!!! read more

What a pleasure to be in an office that is so well run and friendly! Robin checked me in and was super friendly and funny. She let me know what to expect and I felt right at home. Dr. Smith was caring and asked about my aches and gave me a recommendation for running shoes so I can continue to run long distance. He asked about my personal and professional life while he worked on me. I feel like he understood my health concerns and me as a person. I also love how they give back to the community with the Pasadena Pacers running group and their neighbors. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Some people do their career for money, Dr. Smith truly enjoys what he does. His diagnosis and treatment is friendly and informative and in-depth. The facility is equipped and modern. The staff is very friendly but also professional and they know what they are doing. The entire office makes sure patients are treated properly. Highly satisfied with the visits. Just some other little tid-bits: Free onsite parking is a gem in downtown Pasadena. Seemed focused on building relationships,not just customers. Front office has antique furniture vibe. Back office is modern. Dr. Smith speaks Spanish. Quiz him ;-) read more

After multiple physical therapists and years of pain, Dr. Smith was able to diagnose and fix my hip problems in three visits. Now I'm back to running, pain free and happy as can be. The office runs efficiently and the staff is warm and friendly. Can't say enough good things. read more

After a few months of being in a car accident, I was referred to Dr. Rodriguez for my lower back pain. With this accident and being a preschool teacher- I'm constantly on my feet and bending every which way, so my lower back pain became unbearable. After only a few sessions with Dr. Rodriguez, I have definitely noticed slight improvements in mobility and hoping for a full recovery with the sessions to come! He has been amazing and would definitely recommend! read more

I went in to see Dr Jerry Rodriguez along with my nephew. We both had some tightness on our Hams and lower back from baseball and weight lifting. He did some great work on both of us. His sports medicine background is truly visible in his works. We will both be seeing him again regularly as we have seen great improvements in our movement and performance. read more

Recently I had been experiencing backaches like never before. My husband recommended I schedule an appointment with Dr.David Kuo and I'm so glad I did! I felt immense relief after my first visit alone. He is very personable,knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend! read more

Took my 8 year old daughter here today. Robin at the front desk and Dr Smith treating her wee the greatest! My daughter had a nagging ankle problem that turned out to be a little ligament damage that has just takes a while to heal. However, the doctor helped her fully understand it, helped with some ointment and massage to reduce the swelling and she walked out practically skipping and sure she will be fine. Can't thank these nice people enough! read more

Ended up coming back due to a pinched nerve in my neck along with stiffness down my back with lack of mobility and flexibility. Steve Smith did an assessment with questions regarding my history and how it came about; first visit consisted of preventative movements and exercises I could do due to the tenderness of touch on the effected area. Several visits later I now have full range of motion along with the flexibility of my back. Definitely recommend coming to this practice as they have not disappointed with many reviews you can also see above and below mine. Thank you again! read more

I'm so happy Dr. Smith is seeing patients again. He is warm, friendly, funny and most of all provides excellent adjustments. The in-office staff are also very hospitable and I feel well taken care of. read more

This Chiropractor misdiagnosed me, and he told me I would never run again. He looked tired, perhaps that played a role in his misdiagnosis. I went to get a second opinion from 2 orthopedics and each one said I didn't have what this chiropractor said I had. He also tries to sell you orthotics, rather then strengthening your feet, so the feet can do the job they were meant to do. He's out of network. He nickel and dimes you. For example, if they show you an exercise, he will charge you extra. If you lay on a massage bed, that is an extra charge as well. Btw: I just ran a half marathon and PR at 1 hour and 35 min. read more

This is the best chiropractic office in Pasadena, hands down. I've been a highly active person for the majority of my life--Dr. Smith helped me through a pretty significant running injury with my right hip.

I adore this chiropractic office!! They are so nice and very helpful. Not pushy at all. Helpful and never in a rush. Appointments are easily fit in, they are extremely considerate and bend over to help you. Thank you to Smith chiropractic people!! read more

My ankle had been bothering me for over a month when a running friend told me to go see Steve Smith. My injury was running related and I just couldn't shake it. The pain wouldn't stop and I decided to give chiropractic care a try! I am SO GLAD I went and didn't keep running on my injury. Steve Smith knew instantly what the issue was and advised a plan to help it heal and prevent injury in the future. With his care I am finally up and running again. With his help I have learned how to run smarter and look forward to many more miles! read more
